CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT.
Little Falls transcript., 1887-03-25

The president allowed the river ana
harbor bill to fail, because there are
S16, 900, 900 in unexpended river and
harbor balances remaining in the
hands OF the secretary of war, and, as
the president said a few days ago, it
seemed to him that he had signed a
river and harbor bill only the week
before. There were several items of
questionable value in the bill,
and some that were unquestionably
bad. No great interest is believed to
be threatened by the failure of the
measure. It was not discussed in the
house, and, so for as that body was
concerned, it was the product OF three
conferrees.

1t is encouraging to note that an
old and very conservative newspaper,
the Boston Daily Advestiser, talks
ho pefully OF the business prospects OF
the country. That paper says that
unless every usual Indication is at
fault We are in the beginning, as ma
tion, OF a great wave of prosperity.
Nearly all kinds of business are re-
ported in more active condition,
money is plenty at moderate rates,
and there is no fear of any immediate
financial overturn, though it is evi-
dent that the danger of our increasing
silver coinage is growing in arithemeti-
sal proportions. All over the country,
with very few exceptions, railroads
are still showing appreciating earn,
ings, and the extensions planned for
the coming year mark very general
confidence on the part OF railroad
men that prosperous times are likely
to continue for some time to come. E,

When milking time came the COWS

who had Just driven home from the WI
lnge, started toward the pasture in
search of them. On his way through
the lane he heard a terrible helIowiug
over in the pasture.
Wheu he reached the pasture he saw
the cattle with their heads and tails up
believing AS though they were in great
distress about something. Farmer Ste
yer hurried toward the spot, yelling
HAIRY, with all his might.

In the centre of the ring OF cows
Farmer stever found things Just as
Harry had told him. \ big bear had
come into the field, seized a small calf
and crushed it TO death, Just rs Harry
was about to start the cattle for home.
The lad climbed up the tree and the
cows began to below. When Farmer
Nteycr rushed in airong the noisy herd,
the bear was eating the calf As fast a.
he could Farmer >tever eXcitelly
,prang forward and kicked the bear in
the side He regretted il a second later,
for the hungry animal turned upon him,
and nearly broke one of his arms with
blow from one OF his paws. The farm
er immediately took 10 hi, heels and,
after growing >aya9ely at the farmer,

ing up the earth and believing like II
wild beast when the farmer ran from
the bear. Every now ami then the httll
! tried to get over the fence. He tried TO
lift the top rail off with his horns, but
heavy stones had been placed on them
to keep the wind from blowing them
away, and the bull was unable to move
| them. Farmer Stever was trying to
think what to do, when Harry yelled
from the tree -
Pa Con let the bull out and see
if he wont 60 fur the bear.
The lads suggestion struck the farm
er and he ran over to the fence, threw
off the stones and tore of the top rail,
The bull lcaped into the pasture. and
believing with rage, ran toward the
noisy herd, with his tail in the air and
his head lowered. The cows separated
as he plunged forward, and gave him a
chance to get at the beast. The mo-
ment the bull got glimpse of the bear
he seemed wild with fury. With a ter
rife roar he rushed ar the bear, struck
INN squarely in the right side with both
of his horns, and knocked him three or
four feet away from the carcass of the
calf.
The bear was partially stunned by
the blow, but he staggered to his feet
just as the bull came upon him again,
The bear undertook to defend himself
but the bull gave him another trench
dous thump in the ribs, :making the
blood run. Then the bear tried to run
away, but the bull followed him up and
gored him and minute later the bull
got the bear down and gored him to
death Ne,c York San.
